Schalke 04 form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Bundesliga this season. Schalke 04 have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from their games here at VELTINS-Arena.
Schalke haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 214 minutes ago. Kozuki scored that one. Nothing to worry about in defence for Schalke 04, as their goalkeeper Ralf Fahrmann has completely shut out the opponents for 181 minutes in the Bundesliga.
The Schalke 04 coach Reis and his side return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Borussia M'gladbach (placed 9th). Defender Brunner got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.84/10. Brunner hit one key pass and won 7 of 8 duels.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Köln.Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Schalke have allowed the opposition to score 25 goals here at VELTINS-Arena.
VfL Wolfsburg form and stats
The visitors are W4-D2-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Bundesliga.
VfL Wolfsburg might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Bayern München proved too strong as VfL Wolfsburg slumped to a 2-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Volkswagen Arena. As you can tell from the result, the match against Bayern München was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Midfield player Kamiński was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.04/10. Kamiński scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
A loss, in the DFB Pokal away at Union Berlin, earlier.
